Highway 1 - 216th to 264th Widening

Phase 2 - from 216th Street to 264th Street (10 km) is currently under construction.

Phase 2 is located in the Township of Langley between the new 216th Street Interchange and the 264th Street (Highway 13) Interchange.

This segment of highway is operating at capacity during peak periods and contains vertical clearance issues for commercial vehicles. The 232nd Street Interchange configuration no longer operates well under current traffic volumes and will only get worse as volumes increase.  

The project will include:

• Widening Highway 1 to accommodate eastbound and westbound high occupancy vehicle (HOV) and electric vehicle (EV) lanes in the median between the 216th Street and 264th Street Interchanges
• Constructing a new crossing at Glover Road, including new three-metre-wide multi-use pathways in both directions and increased clearance over the highway
• Reconfiguring the existing 232 Street Interchange and the replacement of the existing crossing, including three-metre-wide multi-use pathways in both directions and increased clearance over the highway
• Replacing the existing railway crossing immediately east of Glover Road, including increased highway clearance

Project cost

The project is funded with contributions from:

• The Government of Canada
• Province of B.C.

Project objectives

This project will:

• Reduce Highway 1 congestion
• Improve overall safety and capacity of the highway and the 232nd Street Interchange
• Eliminate low clearance issues for commercial vehicles on the corridor
• Encourage motorists towards more sustainable transportation rather than traveling in single occupancy vehicles
• Support increased use of existing Highway 1 transit services by improving transit travel times and reliability
• HOV / EV lanes will support CleanBC and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Enhance pedestrian and cycling features at Glover Road and 232nd Street (new Glover Road crossing completed May 2024)
• Construct the 232nd Street Interchange and median HOV / EV lanes. Construction begins in summer 2024.
• Construct the replacement railway crossing – tender in 2024
• Substantially complete highway widening construction in 2026
